Why would they? What advantage do they gain from doing so, compared to not?

Show me a professional competitive gamer who plays with a controller. I'll wait.

I mean I can share pics, but it's a fairly run of the mill Victorian terrace. 11 foot ceilings and a picture rail in the lounge which is nice. A few of the original features remain. Compared to a lot of the houses in the Georgian market town I live in, mine is positively new.

All of my wall sockets include usb power outlets, so they're all powered via those, I'm currently working on using an 18650 or 2 to power one as an experiment, but as they're WiFi and need to react in a timely manner putting the microcontroller into sleep mode isn't really an option, meaning the battery life won't be very good. The RADAR module needs a solid 5v as well so I'm not sure it will be practical.

I build my own using EspHome. I tend to use a D1 Mini as the microcontroller as it has a small footprint and a LD2411S sensor module (very cheap on AliExpress ) I'm lucky enough to have a 3d printer to make my own enclosures.
